Grinding & Bonded Abrasives

A grinding wheel is a wheel composed of an abrasive compound and used for various grinding (abrasive cutting) and abrasive machining operations. Such wheels are used in grinding machines.

The manufacture of these wheels is a precise and tightly controlled process, due not only to the inherent safety risks of a spinning disc, but also the composition and uniformity required to prevent that disc from exploding due to the high stresses produced on rotation.

Grinding wheels are consumables, although the life span can vary widely depending on the use case, from less than a day to many years. Rohan deals in grinding wheels from Orient (Saint-Gobain) and Cumi Murugappa.
